As an American, I would type "Olya". THat would give a better pronunciation. "Olia" would make somebody say "OH-li-a", instead of "OL-ya". And "Ola" would sound completely wrong.

But that's my opinion, and if you don't like it, then that's your choice. I can certainly understand, since my name, Jody, is often misspelled. (When misspelled as Jodi, it makes it like a girl's name.) I hate that.
